  Hello,
  
  I am making progress but the mites still keep coming back and are lingering. I live have a one bedroom apartment and no longer have any furniture sleeping on an air mattress and use a plastic chair for work.
  
  I have carpet in the bedroom but do not live in there but I do go in there three times a day to vacuum.
  
  I clean the everything everyday and think I have done a good job of eliminating a place for them to live and breed. Sold my car last week to eliminate the last place.
  
  But now I am thinking that I am the last place where they are living and breeding and it is me that is the last thing to fix.
  
  I actually have a brown rash in both arm pits that comes and goes and it seems to be worse. when the mites are worse. Could this rash be from where they are living? Has anyone heard of any rashes being part of the problem.
  
  I don’t have any bites and don’t feel like they are getting inside of me at all. But the rash makes me think they are living and breeding in my skin.
  
  I just bought sulfur supplements and structured silver and now starting to expand by arsenal to internally focused products. I would welcome any tips or feedback on the rash or if I am the place where they are living and breeding.
  
  There are so many good tips here and helpful information that it is difficult to implement it all but I try to add a new product to the mix everyday.
  
  Thank you for any help!

  Hi there,
  
  I hate to say this, but you probably are the nest. . . I’ve never heard of a rash like that with these things, but what I have learned is if you think something is happening it probably is.
  
  For me, my hands and feet are/were the nest. Treating these areas has reduced bites significantly.
  
  For me, soaking the areas in kleen green daily has nearly finished them off, I’m now living a nearly normal life again. But I’ve seen other people not having results with KG, it varies from person to person.

Recommended Treatment Provider

We recommend you use a licensed professional to address a bird mite problem. Don’t wait or the problem will get much worse and more expensive to treat. We have a list of pest control companies that are specifically qualified to treat bird mites.

They come to your house for no charge and give a free estimate.
Even if you decide not to use them, you get free professional advice.
Most pest control companies have never dealt with bird mites before. You need to use a bird mite specialist.

Keep in mind that if bird mites are not treated correctly, even if the correct chemicals are used, they can become resistant to those chemicals. Don’t use a pest control company unless they have extensive experience treating bird mites.

Also, many of our readers have followed up with (or used outright) natural solutions and pesticide-free, such as on our Treatments Protocols page Follow this link to that page.
